Is Death Paia1essr 2

A Philadelphia physician has made .
special study Of the pheDomena Of death,

and those OF others, and his conclusIon
Is that the dissolution ID painless. IL
mean, "he explains. "That it approaches
as uneonsciously as sleep. The soul
leaves the world as palnlessly a. II tenters
1t. Whatever be the cause Of death,
whether by lingering malsdy or sudden
violence, dissolution comes either
through syncope or asphyxIn., In the
latter case, when resulting from disease,
the struggle Is long protracted, and sc-
companied by all the visible marks Of
agony which the imagination associates
with the closing scene OF life. Death
does not strike all the organsof the body
at the same time, and the lungs are the
last to give up the performances OF their
functions. As death approaches the
latter gradually becomes more and more
oppressed, hence the rattle. Nor 70 the

Tho Como uering Heroes.

The Winnemuccas returned yesterday,
says Wednesdays Silver State, from their
contest with the Eurekss, covered with
dust aud glory. The nine which met the
Eurekas on the diamond and took them in
were: Frank Ewalt, English, Duffy.
F. N. Levy, Alexander, Grandin, Beck,
Henry, Nulty and Boyer. The boys were
given a hearty reception upon their ar.
rival home. An artillery salute was fred
and their headquarters st the Palace were
handsomely decorated, appropriate mot
toes being displayed in conspicuous places
Very little money changed hands on the
result here, as betters against the home
club were very scattering.
The boys are enthusiastic in their praise
Of the treatment they received from the
Clippers, as we'll as the citizens in genera
OF Eureka. Nothing marred the pleasure
OF the game, and the fair and impartial
decisions OF Mr.. Lambert, who acted al
umpire, are heartily spoken of by the
boys. The only features Of the game wert
the excellent battery work OF English and
Duffy, the heavy hitting Of the Winnie
muccss, and the splendid base running
of the Clippers. 1t is hoped that the lat
ter club will attend the series of cham
pionship games to take place al the com
ing Fair here, and we assure them OF
royal welcome and q good time.

A Remarkable Growth.

The many friends Of Messrs. Montgom'
cry Ward d Co., formerly at 227 and 229
Wabash Av., Chicago, will be glad to
know that the rapid growth Of their bust.
ness has forced them to remove from Wa.
bash Av., to Ill, 112. 113 and ia Michi-
gan Av., where they have purchased a
magnificent building, the seven floors OF
which they occupy exclusively. These
seven floors are each 100x165 feet, aggre.
eating nearly 10000 square feet of
about 8 scres) of floor surface. The new
quarters will enable them to handle their
large business to the better advantage OF
their thousands Of customers. Fifteen
years ago Messrs. Montgomery Ward d
90. occupied but n room and that only
25x40 feet. The enormous growth Of their
business during the fifteen years can only
be explained by the fact that they sell d.
rect to customers. supplying ell their
wants, and never misrepresent any article.
The success of this house proves the old
saying, that " Honesty is the best policy"
and from this policy they never deviate.
The fall catalogue issued by Messrs. Mont
gomery Ward & Co. ought to be in every
family.

bucket shop behind for his creditors. He
has represented that he has been imam.

extract from a letter signed by his two
sons, would indicate that he did well OF
his failure. II says:
The fact that he has deserted his wife

years; the fact that he has been enabled 10

He has compelled his wife to live on the

been compelled TO bear his burden. and

Developments of Its Mineral and
Agricultural resources.
A correspondent of the Reno Journal
states that Churchill county, this State.
is hopefully looking forward to q new min.
ing era. A number OF promising develop
ments have been made in various parts Of
the county during the past year. A New
York company, which has been investigat-
ing the l X L District, is now erecting q
cotton smelter there which will be in OPP.
Grafton within 60 days. Much is ex.
pected OF this new venture, and its sue
cess is not questioned. The move is con-
sidered forerunner Of others no less i'm.
portsnt, and q mining boom is hopefully
looked for. While the county is rich in
minerals, ID has an agricultural and graz
ing interest of no little importance. The
sink Of the Carson are rapidly spreading
out, and are most prosperous. They are
approaching the utility OF experimenting
with q variety Of productions. Their
principal sources of revenue has been
cattle, horses, hay and barley. Wheat ia
being grown with profit, apples and other
fruit and berries Of all kinds yield boun-
tifully throughout the valley. The ranch
ers are discussing the feasibility of ar tesian
wells. During the dryest seasons water is
found within a short distance OF the sur
face, and it is believed that il constant
flows annot be found, by means Of wind
mills, ample supply of water can be se-
cured for stock and such vegetation that
requires water later in the season.

seems at last to have some vitality left.
Notwithstanding SO many assertions made
TO the effect that the ores could not, on &C.
count Of their baseness, be worked, we
now have q gentleman here who ia demon.
strating the contrary. His combination
Of theory and practice shows him as
evidently qualified to work any sort of
ore, no matter how rebellious.
The furnace started last Friday, and is
running principally on the poorest ore the
company has. 1t is not only low grade,
but mixed with clay, and other baser
substances, the result OF q cave in the
mine last Spring, and hauled TO the fuz-
mace promiscuously after the furnace shut
down in June last. Since starting, the
output Ia In the neighborhood Of five ons
per day of bullion. The camp was nearly
depopulated, and what few miners we're
here, and some idle coalburners, had TO be
called in TO run the furnace. The con-
sequence is that there are no miners on
hand to go to work in the mines. Smelt.
ers are getting SIS per day; helpers, So 80,
and feeders 81 per day, the latter working
eight. hour shifts. A great improvement
can be made on the furnace, and no doubt
will be made, whenever the furnace shuts
down, which depends, I suppose, on the
length of time that the same will be sup
piled with ore from the mine. In the
mines there are large quantities of ore ex-
posed, but there are no men here to ex-
tract il at present. OF coal and wood,
there is an abundance on hand for imme-
diate use. and is in close proximity to the
camp. Yours, etc. OBSERVER.

Report we are informed that Tuscarora's
prospects never looked more brilliant.

is considered the best indication of an ap.

working there at present, namely, the
Navajo, Belle Isle, Grand Prize, Nevada
Queen. Navajo Queen, Commonwealth,
Found Treasure and Irish Boy No. 2. The
Navajo Queen is working but a few men,
who are engaged in sinking q shaft to cut
the vein. The North Belle Isle is the
leading mine of the camp. The old hoist
ing apparatus is being replaced by a new
and powerful plant, which will be ready
for operation about the LIST Of October,
when work will be prosecuted on an ex-
tensive scale. The Nevada Queen, Com
monwealth and Found Treasure are en-
ploying q large force of men each. Two
shafts are being sunk on the Irish Boy No.
2, with very favorable indications for the
development of an extensive ore body In
the near future. There are several other
claims there with very fsttering prospects.
The Independence and Grand Prize mills
